Half time in the Mexico v Honduras game I went onto Bet365 to place a bet 1-0
Mexico Raul Gimenez scoring. Had to get an authorisation pin sent during which he scored. Match ended 1-0. Thanks 365!

Busy weekend. I'll be presenting Football Live on Saturday on Brila FM. Four Ligue 1 matches to voice and edit highlights for too, oh and the Merseyside derby commentary. I also promised the wife I'd put up the Christmas lights!
